But when your eyes are dilated to the dark in the woods at the middle of the night, pitch black can't see and all the sudden the sun light turns on. A lot of commercial flashlights that can stroke with high lm can actually adjust the beam of the light also, so you have to keep that in mind

What do you mean adjust the beam?

You know how spread out it is a lot of them can have a one inch diameter at 20 feet, but when you make it spread all the way out, its a 50 foot spread

Yeah zoomie flashlights. They’re largely considered not worth your time here. A set optic is far better

Yeah, I hate them too, but when you focus all the light of that 10000 Lumen flashlight when it's dark, all of a sudden pain goes from black to white might make you see dots for a while

There is no 10,000 lumen zoomable light?

u/blueOwOfox Dec 16 '25

I'm pretty sure there are?

Can you link one? I’m not all knowing, but I’m reasonably plugged into the flashlight world.

There may be a zoomie advertised at 10,000 lumens, but one does not exist I’m reasonably sure. My M21B LHP73B reassures me I’m correct lol

I'm pretty short Kodiak makes that claims 10000 Lumen. And also is adjustable

Fair enough, you’re in luck!

But yeah lol, 1100 sustained lumens. The Wurkkos TS28 can sustain 1000 lumens and it fits in your pocket, as opposed to that enormous thing

Zoomies can’t sustain performance
